Submitted to Contest #186

TW: mental health, substance abuse, suicide A Mother's Fight She was tired. But her mind kept her up all night, thinking of facts and ideas and stories.

"Please, don't do it!" Laura Reedsy laughed, and rolled her eyes, both entertained and annoyed by her husband, Nathan, which was pretty standard around their house. They were getting ready to go to their midwife for her first check-up, and Nathan was trying to wear a shirt that said "I'm not pregnant, my wife's cooking just gives me gas." While Laura thought it was funny to wear around the house, she had forbid him to wear it out in public.
